Deputies responded to the 1500 block of Highland Park in Highland Township just before 7 a.m. Nov. 10 for a call from an suspected assault victim.

According to a report from the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, the victim was located by a neighbor inside the residence with severe injuries, which appeared to be from an assault that took place in the residence. The victim was transported to McLaren Oakland Hospital and was listed in serious condition.

Later, detectives from the OCSO Fugitive Apprehension Team located the suspect, a 35-year-old man who had been living in Highland Township for a time, along with the victim’s vehicle, in Flint, where he was taken into custody and charged with theft of a motor vehicle.

Police were still investigating the attempted murder and did not release additional information about the case or the victim.

Gun found

A 51-year-old woman walking Pleasure Street East of Commerce in Milford summoned a Milford police officer on crossing guard duty around 4 p.m. after she spotted a gun lying in the grass of a yard in the area.

According to a report, the officer noted there was no magazine in the gun, but, since the slide was closed, was unable to ascertain whether there was a round in the chamber. After running the serial number, it was discovered the gun, a .40 caliber Glock, was recently listed as missing.

Property damage

A Milford officer dispatched Friday to a property damage report in the 100 block of Scenic Drive observed a set of tire tracks, along with damaged sod on the front lawn of a home in the 1700 block of Brookbury Drive on the way to the scene and stopped to investigate, noting a weed whacker had also been dropped on the lawn. The homeowner, who told officers the family just moved into the subdivision and had someone drive over the lawn once already, did not see the event occur.

On Scenic, the officer discovered the same set of tire tracks on five additional lawns. Residents there said they heard the sound of a truck outside around 11 p.m. the previous evening.

The officer was able to discern that the weed whacker had been purchased in Oregon.

Fraud

A Milford woman came to the police station Monday to report someone used her Kohl’s credit card to make $322 in fitness band purchases.

According to a report, the woman told police the merchandise was delivered to Texas. A police report was required by the retailer for reimbursement purposes.
